Nothing in that response that shows you care about our rights being protected

I have just as many rights as you, don't I? And more than a convicted criminal.

A person caught speeding has committed a crime and, according to you, should be removed from society

Don't be ridiculous!

In recent history it has been drugs.

Why is it that drugs most always seem to get you libertarians panties in a wad?

Why does a cop wannabe who calls himself a wolf want approval for kidnapping and assraping men?

Your words on criminal activity. You can try to say I am being ridiculous, they were your words. Speeding is a crime.

Next, I am not a libertarian. Used to be just like you. I was married to a police officer and we lived in one of the worst crime areas in NM (which is hard because NM is a mess, no matter where you are except the east and probably some far west counties). I have had police officer friends killed in the line of duty in NM.

But, being married to him also gave me insight into their fatal flaws: covering up crimes for each other, targeting people, and politics.

And even years later, when stories like these came out, I took the side of police, time after time. But more and more stories started coming out where police falsified evidence against suspects, people were being convicted of crimes that they had clear evidence that they were not even in town when the crime happened, or situations like the Duke LaCrosse rape case. And locally, a young man pursued for years for a murder because he walked past the woman’s body and acted odd, in jail for years and released with a multimillion dollar payday.

Police are no better than us, they are us. And, yes, the “war on drugs” has led to the militarization of our police, has led to the idea that police are “above” regular citizens. They have forgotten their place and purpose.
